Romance of a Diamond Ring.

Giles Busby, Toledo fishmonger,
was cleaning a whitefsh last week,
and in the larger intestines of the fish
he fonnd o diamond ring. The ring
had engraved upon its inner surface
81. A. B. Chicago, 49," 8usby
forwarded the ring to the chief-of-
police in that city. Last Wednesday
Mrs. Julia A. Lennox. of II Lennox
Place, Chicago, identified and recov-
cred the ring. She tells an interest
ing story of its loss. In 1869 she, as
Miss Bennett, became engaged to
Mr.. Lennox, and he gave her this
diamond ring for which he paid S450.
Upon their bridal trip in 1871 Mrs.
Lennox lost this ring; while she was
washing her hands in the toilet-room
of the Pullman car the ring slipped
from her finger and dropped through
the waste pipe. As the train happen
ed to be crossing the bridge over the
st. Lawrence river, near Montreal,
Just at that time the bereaved bride
had no hope of recovering the ring
There are no whitefsh in the st.
Lawrence; the theory is that a small
fish seized upon the ring, and that at
some future time this small fish,
while cruising about the lakes, fell
prev to the whitefsh in which the
long lost ring was discovered. Giles
Busby, the Toledo fshmonger, re-
ceiveG from Mr.. Lennox check for
SIOO for his honesty.

About the Girls.

No sane girl ever burns love let

The young lady who pounds the
piano has disagreeable bang.

as the best thing about the gradual

girls, ofcourse.
The best shelter for girl is her
mothers wing, especially when she
is disposed to he what the French
men call little chic.
A London letter says "the British
barmaid stands alone" That is more
than her customers are able to do
after they have patronized her q short

Who ever saw a suffering woman?
1t appears that nature has kindly
given to the weaker sex weapon OF

In Minneapolis the girls have form

THE CITIZEN.
MISCELLANEOUS.
A l2-year old Girl to Hang.

At Bsrnwell Court, South Caro-
lima, last week, Judge Hudson SEN
fenced Axey Cherry, a colored girl,
l2 years of age, to be hanged on the
third Friday in September for the
murder of the infant of Mr.. Amos
Williams, OF Allendal, in Barnwe4l
county.
The young murderess was hired by
her mother, much against her will, as
nurse to Mr.. Williams baby. She
pouted around the house and
attended to her duties in so
neglectful manner that she
had to be constantly scolded. After
a scolding one day she was overheard
muttering to herself that she wasn't
going to bother with that baby much
more. A few days after this, ,concen-
trated I've was used in securing the
floor, and as Mrs. Williams left the
room she told Axey that the lye was
poison, and that she mustn't touch it..
On her return Mrs. Williams was
horrifed to find her baby's mouth full
of concentrated lye.
Axey ran cut OF the house saying
as she left: II don't reckon / will
have to nurse that baby much longer
now," The young murderess all
through her trial seemed to have no
idea of the awful nature of her deed.
When she was sentenced to be hang
ed she gazed stupidity at the Judge
and grinned as she played with the
buttons on her dress, As she was
being carried back to jail she saw her
father and made an effort to go to
him. She cried for the first time when
she was told that she could not go
home, but must go back to Jail to
await the day for her execution.

In Brief, And To The Point.

- - - -
Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is foe
to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and
wonderful things in existence 1t is
easily put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy
food, bad cookery, mental worry, late
hours, irregular habits, and many
other things which ought not to be,
have made the American people a
nation of dyspeptics.
But Gresu's August Flower has
done wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and msking the
American people so healthy that they
can enjoy their meals and be happy.
Remember No happiness with
out health. But Green's August
Flower brings health and happiness
to the dyspeptic. Ask your druggist
for bottle. Seventy-five cents.

SOCIAL FREEDOM IN MEXICO.

| No place affords as much perfect social
freedom as a Mexican tertulin. Any
body presented by any other body at all
known to the head of the family is sure
to be politely received and ''Otfered the
house." as the Mexican phrase is. The
Mexicans are polite and social race in
all cases where there is nothing to arouse
| their antagonism or jealousy. Any one
who is affabe and we'll dressed is made
welcome in Mexican household so long
as he presents no likelihood of competition
or rivalry with the master of it in his
business or political career. There is no
place in the world where the coat and not
! the man who wears it takes more marked
precedence than here. Love Of dress is a
ruling passion in the breast of every Mex
can-male and female. In nothing does
their Aztec Indian blood show itself more
plainly. From the poor verdulera (vege-
| table hawker) of the market place, who
gers with the cheap imitation corals which
may be purchased for few centavos. to
the first ladies of society whose persons
glitter with diamonds wherever it posi-
BILE to place them, this desire for adorn-
ment is universally manifested. Rich
apparel and graceful address are better
! passports to the most aristocratic tertulias
than the most sterling mental or moral
worth.
It Is this readiness to open wide the So
cial doors which makes Mexican society
so sadly mixed in character. But the ad-
venturers who thus gain an entrance often
prove very useful. If there is fiddle
they are planets of the first magnitude,
being usually of an active race with elas-
tic limbs and unembarrassed by super
huous flesh. They dance from the first
tootings of the orchestra to its last quaver-
ing notes. They give pleasant and salu-
tary exercise to large numbers Of mucha-
chas (young LADIES' who would otherwise
ornament the walls throughout the even
ing. This excites the gratitude of many
mammas, affords these sons of fortune new
avenues to establishment in life, and
causes them to be unanimously voted by
the whole tertulia "the incest kind OF
young ."-Merico Cor. Kansas city
